5 teens charged in gang rape

Five teens - two females and three males - are facing charges in South Florida after authorities say they participated in the brutal beating and rape of another teenage girl.

The girls, ages 15 and 16, invited a 16-year-old South Broward High School student to a Hollywood home Friday evening, police said. The female attackers then took the victim hostage, smashing the girl's head against a concrete stoop, throwing her down a stairway, tearing off her clothes and dragging her by her hair until she agreed to have sex with a 19-year-old man in the home.

According to an arrest report, the victim resisted and begged the girls to stop. The victim was reportedly held down and kicked until she agreed to their demands to perform a sex act on the 19-year-old man. Two other young men, ages 17 and 18, also participated in the attack, according to the arrest reports.

The Miami Herald ( http://goo.gl/q99R32) reports that the rape was recorded on one of the teenagers' cell phones.

The two girls were each charged with felony battery. The males were all charged with felony sexual assault, kidnapping and false imprisonment.

The victim remains hospitalized in Hollywood, where she continues to pass in and out of consciousness. Police said she was beaten so badly that her eyes were swollen shut and several bones in her face were broken.
